ISPS-US provides education that promotes the appropriate use of psychotherapy and psychosocial treatments for those experiencing states of mind commonly called “psychosis.” These include approaches and understandings derived from psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, psychoeducational, occupational, peer support, creative, and related approaches. Our educational offerings also highlight social factors and intersecting systemic injustices related to “psychosis.” We offer live and recorded webinars, and also live-interactive workshops/courses.
Upcoming Educational Events
Drunk on Too Much Life is an intimate and powerful documentary following the filmmaker's 21-year-old daughter’s mind-opening journey from locked-down psych wards and diagnostic labels towards expansive worlds of creativity, connection and greater meaning.
In this presentation, Professor van den Berg will discuss the role of trauma in the development of psychosis, mechanisms in the association between trauma and psychosis, effects of trauma-focused therapies in psychosis, the transdiagnostic conceptualization of trauma, psychosis and PTSD spectrum problems, and the development of phase-based transdiagnostic interventions for traumatized individuals with psychosis that combine CBT with trauma-focused interventions.
Upcoming Courses
ISPS-US courses are multi-session series or interactive workshops that provide more in-depth learning experiences to the approaches and perspectives that we promote.
